Course Description
In this course you will develop the skills and knowledge required to conduct a survey of a land area in which corrections are made for the curvature of the earth’s surface. This includes applying reference surfaces and projection planes to geodetic components and performing geodetic calculations. The course also includes using a range of coordinate systems, such as Map Grid of Australia and Geocentric Datum of Australia to manage surveying data.
This course is suitable for skilled surveying technicians and skilled spatial information system (SIS) technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems.
